Reflections of a Future Self For this project you will use a minimum of 3 *  photographs to present a  reflection of your future self .  This future self could be 5 days in the future, or 50 years in the future, but there must be a distinct difference between the "now" you and the "future" you.   The images below are examples of past student projects. * 1) Photo of you (current) looking at your reflection in the mirror.  2) Photo of you (future)  looking at your reflection in the mirror.  3) Photo of just the mirror and the space you were in. Tips:   A) Make sure the camera stays in the  exact same position  for all 3 photos. B) Clean the mirror. C) Pick up the bathroom.

Photograph YOUR Fears Your assignment is to capture in a photograph one of your darkest fears.  The fear must be an actual psychological fear you possess.  It cannot be something like "I'm afraid of spiders, so here's a picture of a spider."   It must be the fear of something psychological, a circumstance or a situation, not just a  thing... "I'm afraid that if I don't get good grades, I'll disappoint my parents."   "I don't like what they're doing but I'm afraid that if I don't go along with my friends they won't like me."   "I'm afraid that I won't be remembered after I'm gone." Your challenge is conveying your fear in a single photographic image. The image can be manipulated in Photoshop (colorized, composited, etc.) You must include the name of your fear in your image.  A good place to start is here: http://www.phobialist.com/ S
